About Shiloh Sophia

I’m Shiloh Sophia McCloud. Artist. Writer. Entrepreneur. Revolutionary Thinker. It just depends on what hat I am wearing that day, and what pair of boots. Most days, you will find me in my captain’s hat, which happens to be a cowgirl hat, at the helm of the sparkley pink ship which I use to cruise around to my different marketplaces. Some days you find me at the art gallery. Other days it’s the art studio or the writer’s desk. And some days I will be found, at the Cosmic Cowgirls University (on-line or on-campus) paintbrush in one had, microphone in the other, inviting women to CREATE as if their lives did depend on it. Some creative’s don’t like to be labeled by titles, but I like to know at a given moment if I am the art doctor or the den mother, and whether I serve up a cup of tea and compassion, or a healthy dose of git-r-done kick-yer-ass visionary wisdom. Choosing how I show up is part of my schtik, after all, I am the creator of my own legend…why not make it an adventure story? Folks often want to know, how I got “this way” and what I am up to next. They look at me and my endeavors with a quizzical, slightly baffled curiosity about how someone turns out “like me”. It sounds part compliment, part accusation. I think what they really want to know is not how I got to be me, but how they can fast track it to live a life which reflects whatever their “me” really is.
